The Biden administration has announced a proposal to “strengthen its Lead and Copper Rule that would require water systems to replace lead service lines within 10 years,” the White House said in a statement on Thursday.
According to the White House, more than 9.2 million American households connect to water through lead pipes and lead service lines and, due to “decades of inequitable infrastructure development and underinvestment,” many Americans are at risk of lead exposure.
“There is no safe level of exposure to lead, particularly for children, and eliminating lead exposure from the air, water, and homes is a crucial component of the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic commitment to advancing environmental justice,” the Biden administration said.
sounds like he is trying to get reelected on more empty promises
this sounds great but when if ever will it happen? and how logistically?
Oh, yeah. He hasn’t kept any promises. None at all.
You don’t have to like him or his goals, but please refrain from lying about him. It’s bad form.
Projects are already underway and have replaced our two lagest lead service lines in the medium-small Illinois city where I live via federal funding over the last year. City literally just applied for the funds from this same program and hired private contractors once the funds were approved. About 3 months of construction on each of the 2 roads under which our main service lines run, and now lead has been fully removed from 60% of residents water supply, with the last 40% to occur over the next 18 months.
It’s been pretty simple.
Okay right wing trumpet bootsucker anything else you’ve got to whinge about
Do you feel so alone that you need to whinge on the Internet
A Presidential proposal is not a “campaign promise”
